?Can I claim medical and dental expenses?

If you've paid qualifying health and dental expenses during the tax year, such as doctor’s visits not completely covered by your insurance provider, we may be able to claim tax relief on these expenses for you.

Important: Keep your receipts for expenses so you can claim what you’re entitled to!

?Can I get rent relief?

If you were paying rent for private rented accommodation under a qualifying rental agreement on 7th December 2010, you may be entitled to a rent credit.

The rent credit was abolished for applicants who weren’t paying rent under a qualifying rental agreement on 7th December 2010.

To claim rent relief, you’ll need:

Tenancy dates and address

Weekly/monthly amount of rent

Name, PPS number, and address of your landlord

?Can I claim back tuition fees?

If you’re paying tuition fees in respect of certain third level undergraduate or postgraduate courses or certain language or IT courses you may qualify for tax relief. It will depend on the course of study and institution.

Revenue disregards a certain amount of the qualifying fees in respect to each claim. For example, for a full-time course in 2015 the first €3,000 is disregarded from the qualifying tuition fees.

Fees for private colleges can be well above the level disregarded, which could mean a valuable tax credit.

Taxback.com can claim your tuition tax relief for you.

?Can I claim medical insurance tax credits?

If your employer pays part or all of your medical insurance you may be entitled to tax relief as it’s not granted at source.

If you pay for medical insurance either directly or pay through your employer, tax relief is granted at source and you’re not entitled to additional relief.

?Can I claim back bin and water service charges?

No. Tax relief in respect of service charges was abolished for the tax years 2012 onwards.

?I have an incapacitated child – can I get tax credits?

The incapacitated child tax credit can be claimed by a parent or guardian if they have a child who is permanently incapacitated either physically or mentally from maintaining himself or herself.

To qualify, the child must have become incapacitated before turning 21 or, if older than 21, have been in full-time education or training for a trade or profession for a minimum of two years when they became permanently incapacitated.

To apply for this tax credit, we'll need:

Child's name

Date of Birth

Information on the nature of the incapacity

Details of the child's income

A medical certificate may be required

?I’m a one parent family – can I claim tax credits?

The One Parent Family Tax Credit was abolished with effect from 31st December 2013 and replaced by the Single Person Child Carer Credit.

The Single Person Child Carer Credit (SPCCC) is a tax credit for people who care for children on their own and came into effect from 1st January 2014.

It’s generally awarded to the person with whom the qualifying child lives with most of the year. This person is called the Primary Claimant.

The Primary Claimant can choose to surrender their entitlement to the credit and name a qualifying Secondary Claimant if that person lives with the child for more than 100 days in a year.

A qualifying child is:

Born in the tax year

Or aged 18 at the start of the tax year

Or over 18 at the start of the tax year but attending full-time university, college, school, or other educational institution,

Or over 18 and permanently incapacitated - either before age 21 (or after age 21 while they were receiving full-time instruction)

Your P45 is the official tax form you get from your employer when you finish working for them. It outlines your earnings and amount of taxes you paid for that employer. If you leave your job to start another one in Ireland, you'll need to give your P45 to your next employer.

Your P60 is the tax certificate you receive from your employer in January after the tax year ends. It shows your earnings, tax paid in that tax year.

My agent, Romulo Albares, was very patient and professional throughout the whole process. I'm not a tax expert and I had already come back to Brazil after living in the US for a year, so getting straight with the IRS was a big concern of mine. On top of getting straight with the IRS, so I don't have problems with the US Government, I got a good tax return money, which is very nice.
